It's me who is my husband's downfall because I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight...so, before I knew about my cholesterol being through the roof, I ate whatever I wanted...and he always blamed me.
Now, he is the one asking is there any chocolate in the house?
And yesterday my teenage son said he was tired of crackers and where is all the chocolate.
I guess I was "punishing" everyone, so last night I had to go out for what my son called the "good snacks".
my aunt was eating anything she wanted and she was not skinny, but medium I guess and then she found out that her cholesterol was sky high too and guess what? she was eating a big bowl of ice cream almost every night and cooking in lots of butter
so she quit quickly too but it is my understanding that exercise combined with better diet is best for lowering cholesterol
I think you can't just cut everything out. I find if I do that, I'm going to have an eating binge sooner or later LOL! and I can binge
so I eat smaller amounts but i love and I mean love vegetables and salads and such but the glitch is that I will put a spoonful of mayo on my salad on top of the leaner dressing...but it works for me
it's hard not to eat tasty things when they are in the house and also easier to eat less if you are alone I find
